vision changes?

all of my life I have been near sighted with an astigmatism,but my vision was nearly perfect according to my last exam, still near sighted and still asigmatism but not so soo bad. yesterday I noticed my vision was blurry and suddenly rather than holding things close to my face to read fine print, i have to hold that away quite a bit and I still can not read that. It's very frustrating and scary to me. I have anemia as well, I am trying to read the directions/cautions on the bottle (over the counter bottle) but i can't see it!:(

Can the anemia cause vision problems?

I am very concerned. This is making my work complicated and its very annoying.Should I be worried? How common is it for vision to change this drastic to the opposite?

    Although not always serious, sudden vision changes should be addressed right away.

    Many things can cause your vision to fluctuate, including diabetes, medications, strokes, and retinal detachment or many other eye emergencies. Please call your ophthalmologist now.

    Any sudden vision loss is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY. You must get to your regular eye doctor or to a hospital as SOON AS POSSIBLE. Sudden vision loss, even mild, can be a sign of retinal detachment. You must get that evaluated ASAP.
